Step-by-step explanation:

To find the value of \(9x^2 + 16y^2\), we can first manipulate the given equations to isolate either \(x\) or \(y\) and then substitute the result into the expression for \(9x^2 + 16y^2\).

Given:

1. \(3x + 4y = 12\) ...(1)

2. \(xy = 4\) ...(2)

From equation (2), we can express \(x\) in terms of \(y\) by dividing both sides by \(y\):

\[ x = \frac{4}{y} \] ...(3)

Now, substitute the expression for \(x\) from equation (3) into equation (1):

\[ 3 \left( \frac{4}{y} \right) + 4y = 12 \]

Simplify:

\[ \frac{12}{y} + 4y = 12 \]

Multiply both sides by \(y\) to clear the fraction:

\[ 12 + 4y^2 = 12y \]

Rearrange the terms:

\[ 4y^2 - 12y + 12 = 0 \]

Divide both sides by 4 to simplify:

\[ y^2 - 3y + 3 = 0 \]

Now, we can use the quadratic formula to solve for \(y\):

\[ y = \frac{-b \pm \sqrt{b^2 - 4ac}}{2a} \]

where \(a = 1\), \(b = -3\), and \(c = 3\).

\[ y = \frac{-(-3) \pm \sqrt{(-3)^2 - 4(1)(3)}}{2(1)} \]

\[ y = \frac{3 \pm \sqrt{9 - 12}}{2} \]

\[ y = \frac{3 \pm \sqrt{-3}}{2} \]

Since the discriminant is negative, the solutions will be complex. Let's denote the solutions as \(y_1\) and \(y_2\):

\[ y_1 = \frac{3 + i\sqrt{3}}{2} \]

\[ y_2 = \frac{3 - i\sqrt{3}}{2} \]

Now, substitute each value of \(y\) into equation (3) to find the corresponding values of \(x\):

\[ x_1 = \frac{4}{y_1} = \frac{4}{\frac{3 + i\sqrt{3}}{2}} = \frac{8}{3 + i\sqrt{3}} \]

\[ x_2 = \frac{4}{y_2} = \frac{4}{\frac{3 - i\sqrt{3}}{2}} = \frac{8}{3 - i\sqrt{3}} \]

Now, we can calculate \(9x^2 + 16y^2\) using both sets of solutions for \(x\) and \(y\), and then summing the results:

For \(x_1\) and \(y_1\):

\[ 9x_1^2 + 16y_1^2 = 9\left( \frac{8}{3 + i\sqrt{3}} \right)^2 + 16\left( \frac{3 + i\sqrt{3}}{2} \right)^2 \]

For \(x_2\) and \(y_2\):

\[ 9x_2^2 + 16y_2^2 = 9\left( \frac{8}{3 - i\sqrt{3}} \right)^2 + 16\left( \frac{3 - i\sqrt{3}}{2} \right)^2 \]

Calculating these expressions will give us the value of \(9x^2 + 16y^2\) using both sets of solutions for \(x\) and \(y\).

Answer:

9x² + 16y² = 48

Step-by-step explanation:

given 3x + 4y = 12 and xy = 4

(3x + 4y)² ← expand using FOIL

(3x + 4y)² = 9x² + 24xy + 16y² ← substitute given values

12² = 9x² + 24(4) + 16y²

144 = 9x² + 96 + 16y² ( subtract 96 from both sides )

48 = 9x² + 16y²
